I’m trying to run two different RN apps and debug it independently. But have problems.
Two apps placed in different repos (folders).
I created two Android Virtual Devices via Android Studio (deviceIds: “andr1” and “andr2”).
In terminal I run:
emulator -port 9988 -avd andr1
to start specific AVD for the first app on port 9988
When I have running AVD I run:
react-native run-android --port=8081 --deviceId=emulator-9988
to run app on AVD with deviceId “emulator-9988”.
Logically seems that deviceId formed dynamically by port on which AVD is run
I think in a way that I have running AVD on port 9988 and Metro bundler on port 8081 and it should work. But this is how in looks after build process completed:
How it looks after build – screenshot
New external termanal with Metro is running and first terminal build process is finished.
App is running but Metro not see changes and not update app.
Ok.. I run:
emulator -port 9999 -avd andr2
and
react-native run-android --port=8082 --deviceId=emulator-9999
for second app.
It works! For the first try in each AVD runs two independent apps. But they are not tracked by Metro bundler. If I want to update apps I need to run these two commands again:
react-native run-android --port=8081 --deviceId=emulator-9988
react-native run-android --port=8082 --deviceId=emulator-9999
The question is – how I can use Metro bundler to update apps changes in realtime?
I try many instructions from Medium and etc but nowhere not found any acceptable solution.
